Thickness Gauge
Ultrasonic thickness measurement is an essential process in the maintenance and inspection of ships. This method allows determining the thickness of metal surfaces, such as the hull, decks, and internal structures of the vessel, without needing to drill or cut into the material. Using ultrasound technology, it is possible to assess the condition of the metal, detecting potential areas of corrosion, wear, or weakening that could compromise the structural integrity of the ship.
The process is carried out with an ultrasonic device that emits high-frequency sound waves through the material. These waves bounce off the opposite surface and return to the device, where the return time is measured to calculate the material's thickness. This non-destructive method is highly accurate and can be applied even in difficult conditions, such as underwater or in hard-to-reach areas.
Ultrasonic thickness measurement is a fundamental tool for maintaining the safety and operational efficiency of ships, ensuring they comply with international navigation regulations and avoiding costly damage or structural failures.
Features:
The ultrasonic thickness measurement service for ships stands out as a non-destructive method, allowing the inspection of material thickness without compromising the ship's structure. Additionally, it offers high precision, essential for detecting issues like corrosion in early stages. Its versatility makes it applicable in various conditions, including underwater and hard-to-reach areas, and it is effective across a wide range of materials.

Versatility
It can be applied in various conditions, including underwater or in hard-to-reach areas, and is effective across a wide range of materials, both metallic and non-metallic.
Q&A:
It is crucial for detecting areas of corrosion or wear that could compromise the ship's safety, allowing preventive measures to be taken before structural failures occur.
An ultrasonic device emits high-frequency sound waves. These waves pass through the material, bounce off the internal surface, and return to the device, where the return time is measured to calculate the thickness.
Not necessarily. Ultrasound allows measurements under operational conditions and, in some cases, can even be performed underwater.
The method is effective on a variety of metallic and non-metallic materials, making it particularly useful for evaluating steels and metallic alloys commonly used in shipbuilding.
The frequency depends on factors such as the ship's age, operating conditions, and industry regulations. However, regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper preventive maintenance.
